Coastal Mountain Youth Academy31882 Camino Capistrano, Ste 106
San Juan Capistrano, CA 92675
949-498-7042www.cmya.orgCMYA is an educational and therapeutic program for “at promise” youth. It consists of a sober day school that serves male and female adolescents between the ages of 14-17. These youth struggle with issues such as addiction, truancy, abuse, juvenile detention and probation.

The more drug use begins to affect and control a person's life, the more likely it is that he or she has a drug problem. Unfortunately, substance abusers are often the last ones to recognize their own symptoms of dependence and addiction. If you suspect that a friend or loved one is abusing drugs, it's important to remember that drug abusers often try to conceal their symptoms and downplay their problem. But there are a number of warning signs you can look for:

Inability to relax or have fun without doing drugs.

Sudden changes in work or school attendance and quality of work or grades.
